Cash Short For Empire Games .
event of much interest to B.C. seems

A to be posing a problem for.our illustrious big
cousin, Vancouver. It is the British Empire Games
of 1954 which Vancouver has egreed to host.
Although decision to hold the games .in that city
was made two year:

ago, there is still not enough
tage a good cribbage tourna-
Of the $2,500,000 required, approximately
$75,500 has been raised or promised locally and
another $100,000 earmarked at Ottawa.

With another two years to go, the balanee of

$2.375,000 might be seratched together in contribu-
tions through persuasive salesmanship—although
in our opinion any salesman capable of it would
have retired to Victoria long ago.

The painful fact is, however, that contractors
are inclined to need assurance ahead of time that
they will get paid for their work, This no doubt
will be the case with the contractor who undertakes
construction of a swimming-pool with spectator ac-
commodation for 10,000, or with the contractor who
is asked to increase the permanent seating capacity
of the U.B.C. stadium from 1,000 to 20,000, with an-
other 25,000 seats in the bleachers, This is saying
nothing of the construction of a special cycling track
and perhaps facilitie uch sports as boxing,
wrestling and fencing.

Thus the two-year period of grace is not quite
all it seems unless some very excellent men are
found who can do all this building in the Jast couple
of days or so.

» Therefore a squeeze seems to be in the making
and, with provincial aid as a possible solution, the
taxpayer may be the potted meat in the middle. He
is a good fellow, of course, because he can cough
up at a moment’s notice.

While ‘we are all good fellows here in Prince
Rupert and are bleeding slightly at the heart for
Vancouver, we wonder in a kindly way if there is
not some other way of taking the strain, As the
pressure has already caused the rowing events to
be pareelled out to Kelowna, maybe we could re-
lieve Vancouver of, say, the boxing and wrestling.

We suggest this with the most generous in-
tentions as we recall the unkind remarks made in
1850 about Auckland, New Zealand, when .the city
seemed not quite in readiness for the British Em-
pire Games of that year.

It is simply a time when the cities of this
province must stand together in defence of their
common pride and their separate taxpayers. :

The Lights Go On Again’

CCEPTANCE of the Sloan Formula in the IWA
dispute prompts us to coin a wartime song

“when the lights go on again all over B.C.” They
are on now.

They are not on because there has been vietory
or surrender-as neither of these -has occurred. They
are on because the province’s major industries can
again go into motion and because heads of thous-
ands of families can start drawing pay once more,

But not everything that lights shine upon is
‘ause for joy. For one thing management-employee
relations in the lumber industry have undergone
damage that may take some time to repair,

The strike did not start cleanly and had to be
ended, let’s face it, in a makeshift manner, Estab-
lished and authorized procedure could not be ap-
plied because, for one reason or another, it was
not respected.

It was the result of good luek, not good plan-
ning that the services of such an able mediator as
Chief Justice Sloan were finally obtained, Another
result that effects us all is that a little more im-
petus has been given to the spiral of inflation.

IWA members can not be blamed for this be-
cause they demanded higher wages. The eause lies
deeper in the complexities of our economy where
one action sets off a chain of others, So starts the
spiralling movement.

We go around in circles but never quite get
back where we started. We hope ‘that the exper-
ience gained from this costly dispute will earry
with it a useful lesson for both sides which to some
extent will make up for the loss of time and money
that both have suffered.

To Pop the Question

THERE has long been a

move, down in the Mar-
itime proviiices, to include
the British West Indies
in the Canadian federa-
tion,

In the past I have always
thoveht of that in terms ol
cheaper sugar, bananas and
better, sweeter grapefruit than
we get from California

But after watching those long
legged boys from Jamaica chalk
up their imposing list of vic
tories in the Olympic games
maybe here is another reason
iwhy we should consider making

la proposition of marriage to all '

the British islands in the Car
ribean
e¢ ¢+¢ +

ALL KIDDING aside—you can
make out a long list.of reasons
iwhy it might benefit both Can-
jada and the British West Indies
lto have all those islands join
}Canada as separate provinces
Their money exchange problem
would be ove! We should get
more and cheaper ‘fruit. Those
southern islands would get more |
industry, jobs and a great in-
crease in tourist traffic—for the
very fact that they were part of
the Canadian nation would turn
the minds of a great many Can-
|adians to a winter visit to more
balmy winter climes

Ali the reasons which led to
\the inclusion of Newfoundland
lin Canada apply in the case of
\the British West Indies—in fact, |
lthey apply with greater force
|The products of Newfoundland
are highly competitive with
those of our original Maritime
provinces Newfoundland’s nat
ural market, for much of her
| produce, is the U.S.A. and Jam- |
aica

The U.S.A. already has a
| super-abundant supply of most
lof the products of the BW.1.
| islands But Canada has not.

A New Liberal

rar

(Vietoria Daily Times)

It is to be hoved that the Lib-
era] party of British Columbia
will not long delay the choice
of a new leader. Premier John-
son ,it may be safely assumed,
will facilitate this choice by re-
tiring from politics as soon as
possible.

Until a mew leader is chosen
the party must eperate under a
,serious handicap in the eritical
period bewween new and another
pelection. That period and the
proceedings of a fragmented

jegisiature may well determine |

the future of the Liberal party,

\among other things, for years’ to |

come; could decide, indeed,
whether the party is to survive as
jan effective force in our pro-
vincial politics or is to disappear.
Thus the cheice of a leader
is more.impeortant to the party
today than it ever was before.
The first, faet which a Liberal
‘convention must clearly face is
